One of the only pictures with any adults in it. I was so busy yesterday, I only took 32 pictures all day long. John and Brent, two young men from our FCA group also joined us. The table was FULL! Turkey, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, home made cranberry cause, rolls, pumpkin and cranberry bread, broccoli salad, home made pickles, sweet tea, water and wine.
John arrived at bit early, around 11, and brought me a hostess gift. His mother had probably told him to never show up empty handed, so he brough me doritos and orange juice. :-)
They both were gone by the time the night was over, so I appreciated them!
The kids ate very quickly, then had a chess tournament while the adults kept eating.
Here is my big success this year. A pumpkin cheesecake! Kaitlynn and I worked VERY hard on this and were very pleased that it presented as well as it tasted.
Years ago, I tried to make a pumpkin cheesecake. I think it was 1999. Kaitlynn was just a baby. It tasted OK, but it looked really gross. Sam's family had nicknamed it "The Sunkin' Punkin" and I never tried it again. With all the new tools I keep buying at all these Pampered Chef parties I have taken a new interest in baking ( a big reason is because Kaitlynn enjoys it so much I have fun doing it with her ).
